James Stanley, the 10th Earl of Derby, held the lordship of the Isle of Man as a near-sovereign fief, and the 1709 coinage was struck under his private authority — not the Crown's. The Stanleys had controlled the island since 1405, and this penny belongs to a final chapter: the family's lordship was purchased by the British Crown in 1765 under the Revestment Act, ending over three centuries of Stanley coinage rights.
The brass composition distinguishes the KM#2a variety from related copper strikes, a detail that has caused persistent attribution confusion in older references.
